AEP-assisted Hydrothermal Synthesis and Upconversion Luminescence of NaYF4 ∶ Yb3+ ,Er3+ Nanocrystals
nanocrystals were successfully prepared by the combination of coprecipitation and hydrothermal methods using 2-aminoethyl phosphate (AEP) as chelator. It is found that the crystal structures of the NaYF
